CUSTER TOWNSHIP — Three law enforcement agencies were involved in two-county high speed chase that resulted in a crash Monday afternoon. The official details have not yet been released. According to Mason County Sheriff’s Office deputies on scene, the chase involved a Manistee County man and started in northeastern Oceana County. Deputies from Oceana County Sheriff’s Office began chasing the suspect who ended up on 120th Avenue in Oceana County and traveled north as the road turns into Darr Road in Mason County. Upon entering Mason County, deputies from Mason County Sheriff’s Office joined the chase as did troopers from Michigan State Police Hart Post.
